A few weeks ago, Elwood launched their men's collection into Myer this season and to celebrate this, Elwood asked myself and 3 other male bloggers to customize their winter staple- The Anorak! Plus have it displayed in the Chadstone & Melbourne Central Stores!
I'm a lover of the anorak and almost didn't want to customize the original design. But of course adding my own little touch to it was fun. I added nuts (of nuts and bolts) to the draw string, added a little tartan lining to the hood and interior, patched elbows and a bit of the back with camouflage, put potato sack type material for the pockets, buttons and certain areas sprayed with copper spray paint and also sponged the back with the same spray to create that texture. I wanted a customisation which was interesting but still commercial and not too costumey but also not too simple, and using small details to create that.
It's great that the Melbourne based youth fashion brand that associates with music and street have also involved bloggers in their brand now as well! This is definitely a start of many men's bloggers collabs to come hopefully!
